Celtics (24-8) at Bulls (13-22) Game #33 1/4/20

I am not liking the minutes that Brad has the starters playing, whiich lately have been a consistent mid-to-upper-30's per game. I understand the bench has struggled, but that much floor time is about to catch up with us as the schedule ramps up in frequency and difficulty.

Injuries have made Stevens' job difficult.  Then add ineptitude by the bench and he doesn't have much choice.

We only attempted 19 threes. Got to the bucket again and again.

Yay! Finally

You guys do realize the reason we took less threes largely because Kemba was out right? He's taking nine 3s a game on average.

So yay we're finally missing our all-star PG! 

Anyways the C's are 8th in the league in points in the paint, we get there plenty this year. One of the reasons our offense is much better this year.

I agree we’ve been good at getting to the paint. I noted last night because even for this year that was a heck of a number. We were really, really good at getting paint buckets last night.

Fwiw, the lowest average of 3s attempted per game by any NBA team is 27. Even if Kemba added his 9, that would have been a really low # of threes.
